Liverpool suffered a sensational defeat against Crystal Palace in the home match of the 33rd round of the English Premier League.

Right from the start of the match, Crystal Palace managed to deal with Liverpool's high pressing and controlled the ball excellently. This led to the guests taking the lead as early as the 14th minute of the match when the hosts' defenders left Eberichi Eze unmarked in the penalty area. Eze, with a single touch, brilliantly struck the ball after a cross from the right flank.

Crystal Palace could have even doubled their lead when Virgil van Dijk slipped in the center of the pitch, allowing Mateta to go one-on-one with the goalkeeper. However, Liverpool was saved from conceding by an incredible save from Andy Robertson.

After that, absolute chaos ensued on the field. Liverpool constantly pressed Crystal Palace's goal, creating numerous opportunities but failing to score.

Crystal Palace's goalkeeper, Dean Henderson, had an outstanding match, making 5 saves, some of which were from shots just a few meters away.

Throughout the match, Liverpool had 21 attempts on goal.

Manchester City is particularly delighted with this defeat of Liverpool as they now lead Jurgen Klopp's team by two points. With only 5 matches left until the end of the season, Arsenal has the same number of points as Liverpool, but they have today's match against Aston Villa in reserve.
